Topologically engineered 3D printed architectures with superior mechanical strength
R. S. Ambekar, B. Kushwaha, P. Sharma +4
Materials that are lightweight yet exhibit superior mechanical properties are of compelling importance for several technological applications that range from aircrafts to household…
Flexoelectricity in soft elastomers and the molecular mechanisms underpinning the design and emergence of giant flexoelectricity
Matthew Grasinger, Kosar Mozaffari, Pradeep Sharma
Soft robotics requires materials that are capable of large deformation and amenable to actuation with external stimuli such as electric fields. Energy harvesting, biomedical device…
Flexoelectricity and the Entropic Force between Fluctuating Fluid Membranes
Kosar Mozaffari, Fatemeh Ahmadpoor, Pradeep Sharma
Biological membranes undergo noticeable thermal fluctuations at physiological temperatures. When two membranes approach each other, they hinder the out of plane fluctuations of the…
The interplay between symmetry-breaking and symmetry-preserving bifurcations in soft dielectric films and the emergence of giant electro-actuation
Lingling Chen, Yu Yang, Binglei Wang +3
Soft elastomers that can exhibit extremely large deformations under the action of an electric field are essential for applications such as soft robotics, stretchable and flexible e…
A tutorial on the stability and bifurcation analysis of the electromechanical behaviour of soft materials
Shengyou Yang, Pradeep Sharma
Soft materials, such as liquids, polymers, foams, gels, colloids, granular materials, and most soft biological materials, play an important role in our daily lives. From a mechanic…
Mechanical Strain can Switch the Sign of Quantum Capacitance from Positive to Negative
Yuranan Hanlumyuang, Xiaobao Li, Pradeep Sharma
Quantum capacitance is a fundamental quantity that can directly reveal many-body interactions among electrons and is expected to play a critical role in nanoelectronics. One of man…
Homogenization of Rough Surfaces: Effective Surface Stress and Superficial Elasticity
P. Mohammadi, L. Liu, P. Sharma +1
Relating microstructure to properties, electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and their couplings has been a major focus of mechanics, physics and materials science. The majority of…
The origins of electromechanical indentation size effect in ferroelectrics
M. Gharbi, Z. H. Sun, P. Sharma +1
Metals exhibit a size-dependent hardening when subject to indentation. Mechanisms for this phenomenon have been intensely researched in recent times. Does such a size-effect also e…
